Small general aviation gateway to Alsace's wine country.
Location
Colmar, France
Colmar Houssen Airport (IATA: CMR, ICAO: LFGA) is a small regional airport located in Houssen, just north of Colmar in the Alsace region of northeastern France. It primarily serves general aviation traffic, including private and business flights, and hosts occasional charter operations.
The airport sits in the Upper Rhine plain near the German border, making it convenient for travelers visiting the Alsace wine route and the historic city of Colmar. It is one of several small airfields in the Greater Alsace area, with Strasbourg's larger international airport (EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg) serving as the region's primary commercial hub.
Due to its limited size and infrastructure, Colmar Houssen does not support scheduled commercial airline service on a regular basis. It is more commonly used by flight training schools, aero clubs, and private aircraft operators.
